Overview

Wildlife safari & Horseback riding on a traditional cattle farm and immense nature reserve.

Hato is a traditional cattle ranch that is deeply committed to preserving the flora and fauna of the Llanos while simultaneously maintaining the rich cultural heritage of the Llaneros. Over 40 cowboys work together during cattle work, showcasing the ranch’s strong traditions year-round.

The food served is authentically regional, with fresh meat daily, and you’ll always be surrounded by the spirit of the cowboys. The family, led by the owner Don Felipe, is incredibly warm and welcoming. With over 300 horses and 8,000 cattle, a visit to this nature reserve offers the chance to spot white-tailed deer, capybaras, giant anteaters, spectacled caimans, turtles, tamanduas, hundreds of bird species, howler monkeys, and perhaps even an anaconda or a puma.

Naturaleza y cultura en los llanos

Nuestra experiencia en el Safari Llanero fue increíble y llena de hospitalidad. Desde la llegada, nos sentimos cómodos en las instalaciones y pudimos disfrutar de diversas actividades que incluyeron el contacto directo con la fauna local, como una osa palmera rescatada, y la observación de aves y otros animales en su hábitat natural. También realizamos una cabalgata por paisajes llaneros, aprendiendo sobre la flora y fauna junto a guías amables y bien informados. Al final, disfrutamos de la cultura local con música llanera y un recorrido en canoa al atardecer, lo cual hizo de esta una experiencia única y totalmente recomendable.

I spotted amazing wildlife

The horseback trek through the Colombian Savanna with you guys was an unforgettable experience. I spotted amazing wildlife, stayed in authentic ranches and truly immersed myself in the real Colombian cowboy culture. The organization was excellent. I always felt super safe and well looked after. It was a perfect mix of nature, adventure and culture. I will highly recommend it to others!!!
